The document discusses interdisciplinarity in translation and its importance in the era of globalization. It defines interdisciplinary translational competence as integrating knowledge from multiple areas of expertise to solve complex translation problems. While interdisciplinarity offers benefits like making translators more versatile, it also poses challenges including lack of deep knowledge in specific fields and difficulty keeping up with technological changes. However, technology and online collaboration can help translators overcome limitations and address challenges by providing extensive resources and allowing experts worldwide to work together.
